Goldstream News Gazette — Career fair connects both sides of the job market

Don't miss the Extreme Education and Career Fair this Thursday

As regional and provincial unemployment remain near record lows, this week's Black Press Extreme Education and Career Fair could be your best bet to connect with your next employer.

The fair, organized by Black Press, publisher of your local community newspaper, offers attendees access to a wide range of companies and organizations from both the private and public sector.

"There's a lot of recruitment being done in the area and there's lots of opportunities for people to follow their passion," said Brittney Prentice, events marketing co-ordinator for Black Press. "This is about making the greater community in Victoria aware of what's available to them."

The show itself runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 26 at The Q Centre, 1767 Island Hwy. in Colwood.

One of the companies present will be Slegg Building Materials, a Sidney-based building supplier, with locations and deep ties across the Island.

"We are participating because we are a growing business that continues to look for talented people," said Julie Adams.

While it is difficult to say what percentage of the company's employees come from job fairs, such events offer at least three advantages, she said.

"It gives us an opportunity to interact with potential employees, and a chance to demonstrate that we are more than just a lumber company," said Adams. "It gives us an opportunity to show the kind of careers that we offer."

Second, job fairs give an interested audience a chance to learn about the company, she said.

"It is also educational," she said. While the fair might not lead to a match, attendees will have learned more about the company, information which they can share with others in their network.

It also offers a chance for the company to interact with representatives from employment service centres, employment counsellors and the representatives of educational institution, said Adams.

Overall, Adams said the quality of these jobs fairs have always pleased her. Over the years, the company has used job fairs to hire four managers and numerous employees outside that category.

Exhibitors range from public sector employers such as B.C. Corrections, ICBC, BC Ferries, the University of Victoria and the Canadian Armed Forces, to private companies including Thrifty Foods, Country Grocer, Elements Casino in View Royal, Black Press and others.

The fair is targeting not only unemployed people, Prentice said, but students and "those that are looking to change careers and get a fresh start on something." It follows successful career fairs hosted in the Comox Valley and Langley earlier this year and ties in with the regular LocalWorkBC.ca jobs feature seen on all Black Press community newspaper websites.

GVPL announces new opera partnership

Library card holders can now access Pacific Opera tickets

The Greater Victoria Public Library (GVPL) officially launched its streaming music collection on Saturday at the Langford Heritage Branch.

The collection itself features more than 132,000 albums and two million tracks. Genres include world, jazz, pop and rock. The program also features composer biographies, a glossary of musical terms, opera libretti and synopses.

Daphne Wood, director of communications and development with GVPL, said there is also a partnership with Pacific Opera.

"We are going to add access to our culture and recreation program which already exists in 2018 so that people will be able to go and attend the opera if they have a library card," she said. "They can borrow that as part of our pass program."

Woods said the streaming service came through an anonymous donor who wanted to share their love of music with Greater Victoria.

"We were delighted when they expressed an interest," she said. "Anybody in the community can enjoy this collection. It's not something that you have to cue up for or wait for access for, you can just enjoy it."

All you need to access the streaming service is your library card number and your password.

Those who want a library card to access the streaming service can go into a branch and get a card or also visit the GVPL's website and get a library card online.

Wood said the library will have the subscription service for two years. They will then evaluate how the community felt about the subscription. So far, Wood said the public has expressed excitement over the new service.

"Extremely happy," she said. "We've never been able to offer a selection as diverse and deep as this one. This is a first for us." For more information visit gvpl.ca.
